We come in peace, weirdos!! But do THEY?!?!!   TW: aliens, psychosis & delusions, death by statue   Welcome to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, extra & extraterrestrial, wiry & wooley and everything in between.  Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD!!    This week is a wild one so hold onto your butts (cheeks and cigs)    Ashley starts us off with BREAKING NEWS out of Buga Colombia where a strange metallic orb was not only filmed zipping through the sky but also crash landed and was collected by witnesses in the area and turned into our buddy JAIME MAUSSAN and if this is not a hoax it's a BFDY (Big Freaking Deal, Yo)  According to the scientists studying the sphere- it is cold to the touch, it's WEIGHT FLUCTUATES & it's covered in inscriptions and you won't believe what AI has to say about the meaning behind them.   And speaking of AI we have a quick TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY to counteract how pumped we were to be friends with ChatGPT last time around.  Ashley tells us about a new phenomenon people are calling "ChatGPT Induced Psychosis" wherein users of AI Chat Bots are losing their grip on reality, falling into spiritual rabbit holes, and destroying all the human relationships they have left.   Lauren takes us into a segment we call WHERE IN THE WORLD where we travel to just outside of Hong Kong to a city that used to exist called KOWLOON where over 33,000 residents lived in only 350 buildings covering only .01 miles of space........... HOW?!   Then we finish off with a very special DECLASSIFIED where Ashley takes us through the CIA  DOC_0005517761 - Declassified back in 2000, this report describes a 250 page KGB file that contains photos, drawings and witness testimonies about a run in that soviet soldiers had with a UFO back in 1990 wherein 23 men were TURNED TO STONE.   You heard me.  I told you to hold on to your butts.     Check out some LINKS below if you want to read up about any of today's topics.   FOLLOW US on social media @keepitweirdcast SUBSCRIBE to our channel youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast JOIN OUR PATREON www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast BUY OUR MERCH www.keepitweirdpodcast.com/merch BUGA BUGA (SPHERE) https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/1klukvi/material_science_engineer_alejandro_fonseca_mar%C3%ADn/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14687737/spherical-UFO-discovered-alien-technology-colombia.html   AI DESTRUCTION BEGINS AT HOME https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1kalae8/chatgpt_induced_psychosis/   STRAY CITY https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/kowloon-walled-city https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/kowloon-walled-city-history   STONE SOLDIERS https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0005517761.pdf https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/declassified-cia-file-claims-aliens-attacked-soviet-soldiers-sparks-buzz-8175002

To her utter shock, Andrea soon discovers she's pregnant - and despite the concerns of her astonished circle of gay friends, she decides to have the baby.

Andrea starts things off by denying the existence of whales and sharing Tom Cruise tidbits with Dana and the gang. Rory Learns about The Slash (the border, not the guitar person) and Johnny Cash's run in with an authoritative ostrich. We get doughty with the Word of the Week and move into our next segment 'Breaking Andrea'! In this edition of 'Breaking Andrea' there's some serious under-spending at Winnipeg's city hall. Andrea is given a swatch of the city's budget to spend as she wishes and hot tubs, bike paths, Stray City, and so much more appears in the wake of Andrea, Citizen Spender.
